The role our social standing plays in our interpretation of the Bible will be the focus of the annual Lakeland College Mission House Lecture.

Stephen B. Reid, a faculty member at George W. Truett Theological Seminary, a Baptist theological seminary at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, will discuss the role that one's social and economic status, ethnicity and race plays in the interpretation of the Bible.

The free talk is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 11 a.m. in Lakeland's Bradley Theatre. The Mission House Lecture is an annual talk by a leading religion leader and pays tribute to Lakeland's founding as Mission House College.
